Akobo was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria where he attained a BSc degree in Applied Physics from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology. He is an alumnus of the Harvard Business School.

Career[edit]

Akobo started his career in January 1998, by working with the International Petroleum Company of Nigeria (IPCO), [1] as an Electrical /Instrumentation Engineer, before moving in June of 2004 to TOTAL E&P (formerly Elf petroleum) [2] to work as a Stock Control technical assistant in the Procurement Department. He later went on to GE, where he became the first African ultrasonic flowmeter [3] specialist with GE Panametrics[4] and GE Bently Nevada[5] in Nigeria.

During his career, Akobo commissioned ultrasonic flowmeters [6], vibration and condition monitoring instruments to Oil and Gas Power generating plants cutting across ALGERIA, EGYPT, ANGOLA, TUNISIA, QATAR, BAHRAIN and GERMANY, as well as several offshore locations in NIGERIA.

With a steady spirit of constantly challenging not only himself but also everyone around him, Akobo is known for his popular maxim, according to which “a dream without a deadline is a nightmare”.

Thereby capitalizing on his lengthy employment experience with GE, his alumnus affiliations with the Rivers State University of Technology and the Harvard Business School, combined with his acquired profound understanding of different cultures, he ventured into starting his own group of businesses. Hence, in September of 2009, Akobo established PE Energy Limited, (formerly known as Plant Engineering Nigeria Limited) with the vision of bridging the service gap among multinational oil field tools & equipment manufacturing companies, international oil exploration and production companies, engineering, procurement and construction companies and other related service companies.

PE Energy Limited is a global supply-chain and project management company, which holds selling and service rights with top oil-field tool manufacturers.

The excellent services and strong alliances of his companies and businesses have continued to pull in a steady stream of global clients from leading and world-renowned organizations like Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Total, Agip, NLNG, Saipem, Daewoo, Hyundai, just to name a few.

The company has also extended its borders across Ghana by establishing PE Prime Ghana Limited in 2017.

Akobo is also holding the position of Chairman at PANA Holdings[7],  a multi-industry conglomerate. As a business platform that has set sail to become a reference point of unmatched enterprise standards, PANA Holdings identifies, scrutinizes and rates potential investment opportunities across different sectors of business. Its area of involvement includes inter alia industries such as Healthcare, Real Estate, Manufacturing, Agriculture, Energy, Telecoms/IT, Marine and Environment.

Akobo is a fellow[8] of the Institute of Directors of London  and holds memberships in the Nigerian Society of Engineers[9], the Nigerian Gas Association, the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria, and the  Institute of Directors (Nigeria, a life member).
